What I tend to do if someone says or writes something I don't agree with, for whaterver reason, I simply press enter or change the channel. I might even try to offer an opposing opinion. Everyone has free speech rights, but that right has responsibilities. If you yell "FIRE!" in a crowded gathering place, theatre, etc., there had better be a fire. If you do and anyone gets hurt due to this, you are responsible. There are laws against slander and libel for a reason. You have a right, but I have a right not to listen or agree.

Sorry. Wrong message area.
